First test of Verlinde's theory of Emergent Gravity using Weak Gravitational Lensing measurements

Margot M. Brouwer, Manus R. Visser, Andrej Dvornik +19

Verlinde (2016) proposed that the observed excess gravity in galaxies and clusters is the consequence of Emergent Gravity (EG). In this theory the standard gravitational laws are m…

Halo ellipticity of GAMA galaxy groups from KiDS weak lensing

Edo van Uitert, Henk Hoekstra, Benjamin Joachimi +14

We constrain the average halo ellipticity of ~2 600 galaxy groups from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey, using the weak gravitational lensing signal measured from the ove…

KiDS-450: Cosmological parameter constraints from tomographic weak gravitational lensing

H. Hildebrandt, M. Viola, C. Heymans +33

We present cosmological parameter constraints from a tomographic weak gravitational lensing analysis of ~450deg of imaging data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). For a flat $…

Dependence of GAMA galaxy halo masses on the cosmic web environment from 100 square degrees of KiDS weak lensing data

Margot M. Brouwer, Marcello Cacciato, Andrej Dvornik +31

Galaxies and their dark matter haloes are part of a complex network of mass structures, collectively called the cosmic web. Using the tidal tensor prescription these structures can…

CFHTLenS and RCSLenS Cross-Correlation with Planck Lensing Detected in Fourier and Configuration Space

Joachim Harnois-Déraps, Tilman Tröster, Alireza Hojjati +13

We measure the cross-correlation signature between the Planck CMB lensing map and the weak lensing observations from both the Red-sequence Cluster Lensing Survey (RCSLenS) and the…

RCSLenS: The Red Cluster Sequence Lensing Survey

H. Hildebrandt, A. Choi, C. Heymans +19

We present the Red-sequence Cluster Lensing Survey (RCSLenS), an application of the methods developed for the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) to the ~785de…
